Celebrated Sierra adventure game authors Mark Crowe and Scott Murphy, both long time

veterans of the PC and video games business , have teamed up again to form Guys from

Andromeda LLC - a new studio devoted to returning a sense of wonder, sci-fi adventure and

some much needed laughs to gaming. The independent studio will utilize a “fan-funded” model

to launch its first few titles with the goal of building a successful, self-sustaining studio to

produce original games and sequels tailored towards a loyal and ever-expanding fan base.

SpaceVenture is the working title of their first fan-funded project- a point-n-click adventure

game in the spirit of the wildly successful and beloved Space Quest series. The new game will

feature the same style of sci-fi comedy, wonder and excellence fans have come to expect from a

Two Guys Adventure.

To raise funds for their initial offering, The Two Guys have launched a Kickstarter campaign with a

$500,000 funding goal: SpaceVenture Kickstarter

Mark and Scott have also enlisted the services of, and have joined forces with social media

professional Chris Pope of Social Stars Web as their publicist and business partner.

SpaceVenture is a sci-fi comedy adventure game that combines interplanetary

exploration, puzzle-solving, and space travel- not to mention “pant loads” of

pop culture satire and some good, clean “potty” humor.

When the spaceport “facilities” are backed up and stuff’s about to hit

the fan...

When someone’s darling little spawn tries to flush their pet Narblitz

down the john...

When your life support ducts are in need of , er...life support...

It s time to call a professional!

Enter Ace Hardway - plumber to the stars. An intergalactic Mr. Fix-it

armed with his trusty wrench, duct tape, and an impressive ‘norge’,

Ace fearlessly plunges into adventure, rooting-out trouble wherever

he smells it. Yeah... unclogging wormholes is a dirty job, but someone

has to do it.

Name: Ace Hardway

Personality: a lovable lug

Sidekick: ‘Rooter’ his K9 robot companion (and walking toolbox)

Skills/Attributes: A fearless nature (or is it just cluelessness?)

An overactive imagination- frequently slips into daydreams

that lead to real solutions. Has imaginary interactions with

his holo-toon hero Cluck Y’Egger:

MEET

and ‘ROOTER,’ His

Robotic Wonder Mutt.

Companion

Assistant

Walking Tool Box

improved since the 90s.

Additional Key Game Aspects:

to die - earning extra points and achievements - without having to

Scott Murphy and Mark Crowe, aka the legendary Two Guys from Andromeda, are

the creators of the Space Quest series of adventure games produced in the late

80’s /early 90s by Sierra.

During the development of their first game (Space Quest I), Mark and Scott,

uncomfortable with the idea of becoming frontmen for their game, invented alien

personas as a way to poke fun at their impending notoriety. But, the gimmick

stuck and actually helped rocket them both to superstar game designer status.

The Two Guys’ successful formula of sci-fi satire, topical humor, environmental

puzzles and cinematic storytelling made all 6 Space Quest games a hit with

adventure fans. Their games have endured the test of t ime to become

cherished classics.

About The Two Guys From Andromeda

A 20+ year veteran of the PC entertainment software business, Scott was with Sierra Online from

its earliest beginnings in the original Oakhurst, California office. Beginning his career as a dealer

returns representative, then moving to Customer Support (since they were in the same office), he

eventually became manager of that department. When the company moved to a new facility, he

was exposed to the programming department and was bitten hard by the bug to make games.

Convincing Ken Williams to give him a try, he worked after hours at Ken’s house well into the wee

hours on The Black Cauldron, a project for Disney. It was there he and Mark Crowe met and began

sharing their interesting views of what games were and what they COULD be. Both having a strong

interest in sci-fi, the path quickly formed. Once The Black Cauldron released, the duo had some

downtime and brainstormed a demo of the game they wanted to make - which ended up being the

first scenes of Space Quest 1. After wrangling Ken Williams from the hallway to come view their

handiwork, the duo got a lukewarm “Okay” ... and the rest has become entertainment software

history.

In between Space Quests, Scott lent his talents to several other projects including: King’s Quest

conversions, Ecoquest 2, and Police Quest 4. After the Oakhurst studio was cut loose from the

Sierra monolith, Scott left to enjoy some much-needed relief from the burn-out toll the many years

had taken. Since then, he has actively stayed in touch with fans through social media - gathering

opinions of the games both good and bad (but far more the former), as well as debating the merits

of point-and-click versus parser interfaces.

In recent years, Scott has nobly taken on the responsibility of primary caregiver for his mother in

the southern region of the U.S. - where his hobbies have become studying hurricanes up close and

personal, as well as, searching for ‘the missing link’ at the local Walmart Superstore.
